The Business Case for Building a High-trust Workplace

Placing stock in a high-trust culture

Our 30 years of research, in over 40 countries around the world, has shown us time and again that investing in a high-trust workplace culture yields distinct, tangible business benefits. Our studies show that great workplaces enjoy better financial performance than industry peers. Case studies of specific workplaces demonstrate additional, industry-specific benefits, including reduced shrinkage, improved track records on safety, higher customer and patient satisfaction, improved employee morale, better quality job applicants, and more.

Around the world, companies with high-trust cultures deliver stronger results

All companies that make the Best Workplaces list (whether in the U.S. or other countries) have one thing in common: a high-trust culture. Great Place to Work® global research shows that both in the U.S. and internationally, these trust-based cultures lead to impressive performance records.

For example, a portfolio of India’s Best Workplaces outperformed India stock market indices by a factor of nearly four during a recent five-year period (2009-2013). And, Danish Best Workplaces have experienced roughly 1/3 the turnover of Danish companies overall (9% compared to 25%), positioning them for heightened success against their competitors.
